The Elvis Military Tour Of Duty 1958-1960 DVD
The producers of this DVD have taken a lot of time and effort to collect the most extensive footage of this period in Elvis' life. The footage comes from a wide variety of sources. In chronological order the DVD shows you the complete story of Elvis in the Army. There is footage you will know and a lot of footage that is not so common, better: very rare! A lot of the known footage is longer and sometimes presented from different, and to my eyes new angles. So what to expect? See Elvis in a office with an American flag. This is probably during the time he got drafted. Great stuff. Elvis induction in the Army as complete as you will ever see it up to the bruises on Elvis' chins during the physical examination. Elvis' arrival in Texas: wow!
Elvis in Germany and in Paris and even Cliff Richard walking up to Elvis' house only to find Elvis just left ... fantastic! Elvis met by Nancy Sinatra upon his return. Elvis making the joke 'Ari vi derci' during a press conference, something I had only heard before not seen in screen. And yes: even GI Blues is there including the lovely advert 'Gee, I Hope You Like It', finally to be seen. There is so much amazing footage it is dazzling. Some might argue this is just a home produced production and a patch work of images. I would call it a 'patchwork of love and highly interesting'. This release is a lot more entertaining than some of the DVD's recently released and claiming to contain rare footage. Elvis really did a tour of duty and underwent his induction into the army in front of the world in his underpants like a real trooper. This DVD gives you all about our Soldier Boy Elvis and is a release not to be missed! Highly recommended.
Please note this is a DVD-R [but a beautiful one].

Review : Elvis Country FTD Special Edition 2 CD Set
* 48 Hours To Memphis is actually not stereo but it has been mixed from a two track tape and very high quality 'hi-fi' and not only is it not a soundboard it compares perfectly with normal stereo releases.
Video Preview: Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD
Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD. Digipack with a 16 page booklet. Never before have we seen an Elvis concert from the 50's with sound. Until Now! The DVD Contains recently discovered Unreleased Film of Elvis performing 6 songs, including Heartbreak Hotel and Don’t Be Cruel, live in Tupelo Mississippi 1956. Included we see a live performance of the elusive Long Tall Sally seen here for the first time ever. This is an excellent release no fan should be without it. The 'parade' footage is good to see as it puts you in the right context with color and b&w footage. The interviews of Elvis' Parents are well worth hearing too. The afternoon show footage is wonderful and electrifying : Here is Elvis in his prime rocking and rolling in front of 11.000 people.
